Good morning, brothers. The cross is clearly visible in the sunrise sky, as I caught it this morning from the window.

Георгий ПавловBună, Ioana. Am văzut și eu o cruce clară azi-dimineață, dar era formată din nori subțiri deasupra blocului nostru din Krasnodar. Mi-a adus aminte să fac semnul crucii înainte de ceai. Mulțumesc că ai postat poza.
In this meadow with wild flowers, the white church of Orhei seems to watch quietly over everything. A good day of walking.

A nice path through the forest leads us to the small wooden chapel near St. John. A quiet place, good for a prayer before heading home.

Yesterday, after the evening service, the candles burned softly in the temple. I stood and watched the flames flicker, and it was so peaceful around.

Христина ПетренкоДесислава, вчера след службата и аз останах малко по-дълго при свещниците. Забелязах как една от тях, точно до иконата на св. Параскева, капеше накриво и образуваше малка локвичка восък. Толкова обикновено, а в тишината се чуваше само как восъкът цвърчи.
In the evening above the temple, the domes light up as if someone is caressing them from above. It's nice when a person stops and just looks.

Veronika NovákováVečer je u Prešove baš takav, Radmila. Kad prođem pored našeg hrama posle večernje, kupola na mesečini izgleda kao da je neko nežno prešao rukom preko nje. Stvarno je dovoljno samo stati i gledati.
The sun caught the old stone floor just right this morning after Liturgy. Made me stop and say a quiet thank you.
The sun came out just as we finished choir practice yesterday. Those beams hitting the cathedral made the whole sky look like it was pointing right at it.

Matthew BrownSarah, that timing is something else. I remember last fall when the same thing happened right after Vespers — those rays lit up the icon of the Theotokos in the narthex like a spotlight. Makes you wonder if the weather’s just showing up for rehearsal too.
Found this old prayer book on the shelf tonight. The candle makes the pages glow just like when my dad used to read from it after supper.
The old bells in the belfry have been there for decades and still ring beautifully at every service. I remembered my grandfather pulling them with his hand.

Those old bells have been ringing over our parish since before most of us were born. Still sound as clear as ever when Father rings them on Sunday mornings.
Early morning mist at the monastery up on the hill. Always reminds me to slow down and say a prayer before the day gets going.

Дарья МакароваУтро в тумане там действительно особенное, особенно когда колокола начинают звонить. Я тоже стараюсь в такие минуты хотя бы «Отче наш» прочитать, пока дети не подняли шум. Спасибо, что напомнил, Matthew Scott.

كارلا نصارУтро в тумане правда спокойное. Я вчера тоже вышла в сад рано, пока муж еще спал, и прочитала «Отче наш» у роз, которые только начали цвести. Дарья, хорошо, что ты успеваешь до того, как дети встанут — у меня раньше тоже так было.
Early in the morning by the lake, when there is still fog over the water. Our wooden chapel stands quietly, as if waiting for the sun to rise.

ძველი ზარები კოშკში, რომლებიც ჯერ კიდევ ყოველ კვირას იწვევენ ჩვენს თელავის ეკლესიაში. მათი ხმა ისეთივე მშვიდია, როგორც ჩემი ბავშვობის კვირა დღეები.

James BennettThose old bells in the tower still ring every Sunday here in Telavi too, Ana. The low tone always takes me straight back to my own childhood mornings when my grandfather would grab my hand and we'd walk up the hill together. Different country, same quiet pull.
Ce matin, le monastère de la Sainte-Trinité sort doucement de la brume sur la colline. On y sent déjà la paix avant même d’entendre les cloches.

Daniel BakerThat view from the hill never gets old, Marie. I drove past early last week and the mist was so thick the bells seemed to come out of nowhere. Makes the whole morning feel quieter somehow.
Ето старите камбани на камбанарията, още си стоят и звънят за службите като преди. Всяка неделя ги слушам и ми е драго, че не са ги сменили.
